2 Chapter 9 Acquisitive Corporate Reorganizations p. 393 Concept of a corporate reorganization the exchange of an equity interest in the old corporation for shares in the new corporation. his is a realization event under 1001(a) but Section 368 turns off recognition for certain reorganizations. Why? Because a reorganization is a mere readjustment of a continuing interest in property, albeit in modified corporate form. Effects on tax-free corporate reorganizations: 1) Corporate parties to the transaction no gain or loss on transfers of corporate properties. 2) Exchanging shareholders no gain or loss. 3) ax attributes are transferred to the acquirer. 2
3 Acquisitive Reorganizations p.395 One corporation acquires the stock or assets of another corporation in exchange for the stock of the acquiring corporation. ax-free Forms of Acquisitive Reorganizations: 1) A reorganization statutory merger ( 368(a)(1)(A)) 2) B reorganization stock/stock exchange ( 368(a)(1)(B)) 3) C stock for assets exchange ( 368(a)(1)(C)), and 4) Certain triangular variants (e.g., using an acquisition subsidiary of Acquirer) ( 368(a)(2)(D) & 368(a)(2)(E)). 3
4 Concepts of ax-free Corporate Reorganizations p.396 1) Continuity of Shareholder Interest: a limit is imposed on the character of the consideration received a proprietary interest in the acquirer. Must be stock in the acquirer (cf., nonqualified preferred). 2) Continuity of Business Enterprise Requirement. the transferor s properties must be acquired, i.e., the operating business must be acquired and those assets and/or the historic business must be continued. 3) A business purpose (i.e., non-tax objective) for the transaction must exist. Note: A step or integrated transaction rule or an old and cold rule also often applies. 4
5 ax Code rovisions Re ax-free Reorgs. p no gain or loss is to be recognized upon an exchange of shares by shareholders who are parties to a reorganization. Cf., no gain or loss to the acquired corporation. Also, 1032 for the stock issuance by acquirer. 356/ 357 treatment of boot received and liabilities assumed in the transaction. 358/ 362(b) substitute tax basis rules. 381 carryover of tax attributes. 5
6 How Assure ax-free Reorganization reatment? p.397 Options: 1) IRS rivate Letter Ruling but, limited availability, unless a significant issue. -See Rev. roc See Rev. roc (fn., p.403) re guidelines for issuing corporate reorganization tax private letter rulings. Is this Rev. roc. substantive law? 2) Law firm/accounting firm tax opinion letter. 6
7 Statutory Merger or Consolidation p (a)(1)(A) For purposes of parts I and II and this part, the term reorganization means (A) a statutory merger or consolidation; 1) Merger: Shareholders of the target corporation receive shares of the acquiring corporation as a 1 result of a statutory merger of target into purchaser under arget local law (including foreign law) merger statute. Shareholders Shareholders Stock arget Merger Acquirer arget Assets and Liabilities (by law) Merger Stock arget Assets and Liabilities (by law) Stock Merger Acquirer 2 Shareholders arget Assets and Liabilities (by law) 2) Consolidation: Mergers of two existing corporations into a third (often new) corporation. arget 7
8 Divisive Mergers (i.e., Not Acquisitive ) p.399 Rev. Rul For a merger to qualify as a tax-free corporate reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(A), the merger must be acquisitive, rather than divisive (note: divisive transactions may qualify for tax-free reorganization treatment under Section 368(a)(1)(D) and in any event are subject to the 355 rules). Mere compliance with the local corporate law merger statute (i.e., calling the transaction a merger ) does not constitute a merger transaction as a tax-free corporate reorganization. 8
9 Mergers Involving Disregarded Entities p.399 Example: Mergers between a corporation and a disregarded entity. A) Merger of a target corporation into a disregarded entity (e.g., LLC) is treated as a merger into another corporation. Why? B) Merger of an LLC into a corporation does not qualify (since only divisional assets are transferred, presumably not all of the assets of the transferor corp., the owner of the LLC). 9
10 Continuity of roprietary Interest p.400 Southwest Natural Gas Co. v. Commissioner Merger of eoples Gas into Southwest Natural Gas. Southwest Natural Gas paid cash, bonds, and stock. Shareholders eoples Gas Merger Cash ($230,700) Bonds ($340,350) Stock (FMV=$5,592.50) S.W. Nat. Gas axpayer says that a state law merger occurred and in fact a state law merger did occur, so why did the taxpayer lose in the ax Court? Held: Fifth Circuit upheld the ax Court decision stating that 1% of the consideration to selling shareholders represented a continuing interest in the resultant enterprise and this was not a sufficient continuity of interest to justify reorganization treatment. 10
11 Rev. Rul p % of Consideration as Stock X merged under state law into Y Corporation. Shareholders A & B received cash for their respective 25% interests; Shareholders C & D received stock for their respective 25% interests. A Cash ($50,000) B C D 25% 25% 25% 25% X Stock ($50,000) Merger Stock ($50,000) Y Held: COI requirement was satisfied. Alternative: COI requirement is satisfied if each shareholder received ½ cash and ½ stock (total 50% in the form of stock as the consideration for the acquisition). 11
12 What Stock % is Required? p.403 1) Nelson case (Sup. Ct. 1935) 38% nonvoting preferred stock was OK. 2) o obtain an IRS LR Rev. roc requires a 50% stock value issuance. 3) Reg (e)(2)(v), Example 1 (40% OK). Larger firm practice seems to be that 40% continuity is the threshold that taxpayers should maintain in order to be on safe ground. erhaps older cases would allow reorganization treatment with less continuity, but this is risky. 12
13 Other Continuity of Interest Issues: p.404 1) Remote continuity Can assets be dropped down into subsidiaries by Acquirer and not violate COI test? If two controlled (80%) subsidiaries? 2) When to measure the COI test compliance (to avoid possibly violating the COI threshold)? -Day before the binding contract if a fixed number of shares is to be delivered. -Alternative if variable consideration, i.e., shares are increased if Acquirer s share value declines. 13
14 J.E. Seagram Corp. v. Commissioner (simplified) Reorg. reatment p.406 Competing tender offers for Conoco between Seagram and Duont. Neither gets 50%. Duont acquires remaining Conoco shares for Duont stock (including the Seagram shares purchased previously for cash). Seagram claims a loss but IRS is successful in asserting that this was a reorganization (i.e., continuity of interest did exist). re-deal trading not negating the tax-free status. Step One: Dupont and Seagram acquire Conoco stock for cash Dupont Cash 46% Stock ublic Conoco ublic Cash 32% Stock Conoco Seagram Step wo: Dupont acquires remaining 54% of Conoco stock (including Seagram s stock) for Dupont stock Dupont Dupont enderor Merger 22% Dupont Stock Seagram 32% 14
15 Continuity by Historic arget Shareholder Kass v. Commissioner n.75 p.411 Squeeze-out upstream merger. rack RACK acquired 84% of ACRA with cash, Stock 10.23% were transferred to RACK upon its formation, and 5.82% RACK Kass transferred as part of squeeze-out 84% 16% merger. his enabled acquisition of the Merger ACRA entire business. Held: Not a merger even though Kass received exclusively shares of Acquirer because 16% shareholder continuity is not enough. he RACK shares of ACRA acquired with cash were not old and cold. Distinction with Seagram: Seagram & Dupont were independent actors, so Seagram is old and cold as to Dupont. 15
16 Continuity of Interest (COI) Regulations p.407 Reg (e)(1)(i). Adopts the Seagram approach. Disposition of stock prior to a reorganization to unrelated persons will be disregarded and will not affect continuity of interest in the acquirer by the exchanging party unless disposed to a person related to the parties to the reorganization. Requirement: Exchange arget stock for urchaser stock and have at least 50 percent of the entire consideration received being equity. 16
17 ost-acquisition Continuity p.407 How long must the target shareholders hold their stock in the acquiring corporation after their acquisition? What is the impact of a pre-arranged stock sale commitment by majority shareholders? he COI regulations focus on exchanges between target shareholders and the purchaser corp. Sales of stock by the former target shareholders generally are disregarded (unless made to ). 17
18 Reorganization acquisition (50/50 stock & cash) followed by open market reacquisitions of the urchaser s stock (redemptions? 302(b)(2)). he purpose of the reacquisition was to prevent stock ownership dilution for the urchaser. Rev. Rul p.409 Open Market Repurchase Step One: Merges into with shareholders getting 50% stock and 50% cash S/Hs No understanding that the share ownership by the shareholders would be transitory. Held: No impact on the COI status. he post-reorganization stock redemption is okay if not prearranged with shareholders and was 18 done as open market transactions. UBLIC stock Merger Step wo: redeems stock in an amount equal to amount issued in Step One
19 Continuity of Business Enterprise (COBE) Bentsen v. hinney p.411 Facts: Rio Development merges along with 2 other land development companies into a new life insurance company. he life insurance company disposes of the historic business assets and reinvest the proceeds into a life insurance business. Shareholders received 50% stock in insurance company and 50% cash. ype of business carried on by the survivor entity was the insurance business (acquirer). S/Hs Rio Dev. Corp. stock Merger Life Ins. Co. Held: COBE requirement was satisfied need not engage in the same business only some business activity. 19
20 Rev. Rul p.415 ransferor Business Important COBE requirement per IRS: Look to the historic business assets of S/Hs the transferor corporation (not the transferee corporation) to determine whether the continuity of business enterprise (COBE) test is satisfied in the acquisition transaction. Merger Reg (d): Continuity of business enterprise requires that the issuing corporation either continue the target corporation's historic business or use a significant portion of target s historic business assets in a business. stock Reg (d)(4): COBE requirement is not violated if transfers acquired assets or stock to (1) controlled subsidiaries or (2) a controlled partnership. 20
21 he B Reorganization Solely Stock-for-Stock Exchange p.416 Stock for stock exchange (completed at the arget shareholder level): Step 1: A stock exchange occurs between S/Hs the arget shareholders and the urchaser Corporation (for or s arget arent Shares). Step 2: he acquired arget Corporation becomes a subsidiary of the urchaser as a result of the stock acquisition transaction. S/Hs Stock-for-Stock Exchange A stock or A s arent Stock stock (A s arent) stock A A arget stock arget stock arget 21
22 B Reorganization Limitation on Eligibility p.417 Solely for voting stock requirement (No boot in a B reorganization) Solely Issues: 1. Creeping acquisitions: cash purchases within 12 months presumed to be part of plan. 2. Assumption of arget shareholder liabilities & guarantees okay 3. ayment of arget debts to shareholder as creditors are okay if those payments are made only in their creditor capacity. 4. arget shareholder employment agreements can present issues. 5. Acquiror s payment of reorganization expenses of arget is okay, but payment of expenses of arget shareholders is not. 6. Contingent Stock (subject to IRS guidelines). 7. Cash in lieu of fractional shares is okay. Dissenters: arget redeems dissenters with its own funds (not Acquiror s funds). Voting Stock Issues: referred voting stock is okay as long as not nonqualified preferred stock. Control requirement: 80% control by vote and value after the exchange and must be met by Acquiring directly (no attribution rules). No need to acquire control only need control after exchange. No substantially all requirement allows to dispose of unwanted assets. 22
23 Chapman Case (note 83) p.416 I/Hartford No Boot in a B Solely for Voting Stock Means Solely. I as the urchaser of Hartford acquires 8% for cash and then an 80% exchange of stock for stock occurs. Held: Cannot exclude the prior acquisition for cash if linkage exists. he 8% is not essentially irrelevant. he entire payment must not contain any non-stock consideration. On remand, the court was to consider whether the two transactions were linked. 23
24 he C Reorganization he ractical Merger p.419 Acquisition of substantially all the properties of target corporation by the acquiring corporation, in exchange for all or part of its voting stock or the voting stock of its parent corporation. arget is thereafter liquidated. arget S/H Acquiring Shares plus any boot Liquidation arget Acquiring or Acquiring arent s Shares Exchange Acquiring arget Assets 24
25 he C Reorganization he ractical Merger p.420 Criteria for a valid C reorganization: 1) Voting stock of the acquirer or acquirer s parent is received. 2) A transfer of substantially all properties. Case law looks to operating assets while IRS ruling standard is met only if (i) 90% of fmv of net assets and (ii) 70% of fmv of gross assets are acquired. IRS counts assets used in non-routine redemptions. 3) Liquidation of arget with the distribution to the shareholders of the Acquirer s stock received. See 368(a)(2)(G). 4) Assumption of liabilities is permitted (but see Boot Relaxation Rule). 5) Boot Relaxation Rule of 368(a)(2)(B): At least 80% of assets must be acquired with voting common stock. i. Assumption of liabilities are disregarded if other types of boot are not received. ii. Non-Compete and consulting agreements boot exception but a 20% limitation rule (including the liabilities assumed). 25
26 Liquidation of the arget Corporation p (a)(2)(G) requires the arget to distribute all its assets (including the shares of the purchaser corporation) in liquidation. ossible waiver of the liquidation requirement can be obtained from the Service. hen treated as if (1) the distribution to arget shareholders had actually occurred, and (2) the assets were thereafter contributed to the capital of a new corporation. 26
27 Creeping Acquisitions p.421 rior purchase of stock of the arget is this purchase transaction old and cold urchaser s prior holding of stock not invalidating the solely for voting stock requirement. See the prior Bausch & Lomb history. Under the boot relation rule the non-qualifying consideration cannot exceed 20% of the value of all of the arget s properties. Reg (d)(4)(i) & (ii). 27
28 Rev. Rul p.422 C Not a B Reorganization 1) Y Corporation acquired X Corporation shares from X Corporation shareholders. X S/Hs Stock-for-Stock Exchange followed by X liquidation. Y stock Y 2) Y Corporation then liquidated X Corporation into Y Corp. and Y then conducted the X business. X X stock Held: A step transaction not a B reorganization, but a C reorganization i.e., a stock for assets exchange. X Liquidate Why differentiate between the B and C? 28
29 riangular Reorganizations p.423 A Reorg followed by drop down. 368(a)(2)(C) S/Hs stock Merger S/Hs arenthetical C 368(a)(1)(C) Stock Exchange A arenthetical B 368(a)(1)(B) S/Hs Stock stock A A Forward riangular Merger ( 368(a)(2)(D) S/Hs Stock Merger S Stock Reverse riangular Merger ( 368(a)(2)(E) S/Hs stock Stock Merger S Stock 29
30 ype A Reorganization: 368(a)(2)(D) Forward riangular Merger 1. Advantages over type A type: arent has flexibility regarding assumption of liabilities 2. Disadvantages: substantially all requirement limits ability to dispose of unwanted assets. 3. Qualifies as type A if a) Acquiring parent stock is used and Acquiring arent controls Acquiring b) Substantially all of arget assets are acquired by Acquiring c) Merger of arget into Acquiring arent would qualify as A type d) Stock of acquiring may not be used e) Must be merger; cannot be a consolidation f) Boot can be used limited only by the general continuity-of-interest test. Forward riangular Merger ( 368(a)(2)(D) S/Hs Stock Merger A Stock 30
31 ype A Reorganization: 368(a)(2)(E) Reverse riangular Merger Similar to ype B in result, despite ype A statutory classification. Requirements: 1. Use of first-tier Subsidiary 2. Use of Acquiring arent s voting stock 3. Acquiring arent must acquire stock representing 80% control of arget in the actual reorganization exchange. hus, unlike a B reorganization, 80% control must be acquired as new exchange. Reverse riangular Merger ( 368(a)(2)(E) S/Hs stock Stock Merger S Stock 4. Limited boot relaxation rule similar to a C reorganization requirement. 5. Substantially all assets must be acquired i. Acquiring Sub s assets are considered ii. ost acquisition drop down of arget stock or assets permitted iii. reatment of Acquiring arent contributions to Acquiring Sub iv. s distribution of assets to its shareholders counts against meeting the substantially all test. * On February 12, 2014, Comcast agreed to issue $45 billion worth of its own stock for all of the ime Warner stock in a reverse triangular merger, thus beating out Charter Communications competing offer (discussed later). Comcast divestitures are discussed with in Chapter
32 Multi-Step ransactions p.426 Objectives in multi-step transactions: 1) Achieve business plan including regulatory and financial accounting issues. 2) ax result based on overall transaction basis. 3) Relevance of Section 338/cash asset purchase transaction treatment. Overall objective: (1) get assets & control position acquired; (2) then, restructure to rationalize operations. 32
33 Multi-Step ransactions Rev. Rul p.427 Situation 1: wo Step Acquisition. (1) makes a tender offer of stock for 51% of s stock followed by (2) merger of s sub into and remaining shareholders receive 2/3 rd voting stock and 1/3 rd cash combination. Overall, 83%+ consideration is stock and cash accounts for < 17% Reverse riangular Merger ( 368(a)(2)(E) S/Hs stock Stock Merger X Stock Situation 2: S initiates tender offer in step one using stock. Held: When segments are integrated at least 80% of the stock was acquired for stock & tax-free reorg. status is available (under 368(a)(2)(E)). 33
34 1) forms X (MergerSub) to merge into. shareholders receive 10x cash and 90x voting stock. S/Hs stock Stock Merger 2) then liquidates into (not a merger) and then conducts the business. Multi-Step ransactions Rev. Rul p.429 X Stock Liquidate Analysis If separate transactions, then 368(a)(2)(E) would apply. But, these steps are integrated per step transaction doctrine principles. Holding 1. Not an A2E because does not remain in existence. 2. Not a C because substantially all assets not acquired solely for voting stock (even considering boot relaxation rule). 3. Not an A because did not merge into. 4. So, taxable according to form since a taxable stock purchase without a 338 election. 34
35 Use of Disregarded Entities A& / Direct V Merger 5/18/2014 p.429 1) A& forms X (Disregarded Entity). DirectV merges into X. shareholders receive 30% cash and 70% A& stock ($49 billion) S/Hs Stock Merger 2) Question: Why was transaction not done as a follows? S/Hs stock Stock Merger X Stock X Stock Analysis What is this? Holding 1. Straight A because merged away and is viewed as merging into A& (as X is disregarded. 2. Note that if X had been a regarded C corporation then this would have been tested under 368(a)(2)(D) which requires substantially all assets to be retained whereas straight Section 368(a)(1)(A) reorganization does not. 35
36 roblem 1(a) p.437 Nonvoting referred Received FACS: Each arget shareholders receive nonvoting preferred with value of $300,000 per share and $100,000 -Note. S/Hs $300,00 Nonvoting fd $100,000 -Note stock RESUL: Good 368(a)(1)(A) reorganization. 1. Continuity of Interest Satisfied: 75% of the consideration is stock. Merger 2. he fact that stock is nonvoting preferred is not a problem as long as the stock is not nonqualified preferred stock. 36
37 roblem 1(b) p.437 Sufficiency of 40% for COI FACS: Same as (a) except four shareholders (holding 40% of stock) receive $400,000 of voting common stock while the other six shareholders (representing 60%) receive $400,000 in cash. S/Hs $400,00 voting c.s. $400,000 cash stock Merger 1. Continuity of Interest Likely Satisfied. 40% continuity is not enough to meet IRS ruling guidelines (see Rev. roc ), but regulatory example indicates 40% continuity is okay (see reas. Reg (e)(2)(v) Example he fact that some shareholders only receive cash while others only receive stock is not problematic per Rev. Rul
38 roblem 1(c) p.437 Decline in Value of stock Before Closing FACS: Same as (b) except the value of stock declines between time of execution of agreement and closing with the result that the four shareholders holding 40% of stock receive only $250,000 of voting common stock. S/Hs $250,00 voting c.s. $400,000 cash stock Merger Result: No change. he Continuity of Interest requirement is tested on the last business day before the first date such contract is a binding contract, if such contract provides for fixed consideration. See reas. Reg (e)(2)(i). 38
39 roblem 1(d) p.437 Continuity of Shareholders ost-merger merges directly into, and each shareholder receives $400,000 of voting common stock. ursuant to a binding commitment entered into prior to the merger, six of the former shareholders (who held 60% of the stock) sell their new 60% voting c.s. Unrelated S/Hs for cash to a third party three weeks after the merger. $400,00 voting c.s. stock Merger RESUL: reas. Reg (e)(1)(i) and -1(e)(6) Example 1(i) now provide that the subsequent disposition of stock by former shareholders to unrelated parties is generally not considered in determining whether the COI test is met, even if the dispositions were pursuant to a preexisting binding contract. 39
40 roblem 1(e) p.437 Continuity of Business Enterprise Same as (a), above, except shortly after the merger and as part of its original plan, sells s assets to an unrelated party at a nice profit and uses the sales proceeds to expand its professional textbook business. S/Hs $300,00 Nonvoting fd $100,000 -Note stock Merger assets X ANALYSIS: he issue is whether, a professional textbook business, is continuing 's historic business, which was the sale of law student study aids. he fact that is in the same general line of business (selling books) as tends to establish the requisite continuity, but this fact is not alone sufficient. Reg (d)(2)(i). he COBE requirement may well not be satisfied here unless can claim that is in the same line of business. 40
41 roblem 1(f) p.437 rohibition of Any Boot in a B Reorganization In exchange for their respective 400 shares of stock, transfers to each shareholder $360,000 of voting preferred stock and $40,000 cash. Stock-for-Stock Exchange S/Hs arget $360,000 stock + $40,000 stock arget RESUL: Even though the predominant consideration is voting preferred stock (not nonqualified preferred) and acquired 100% control of, the transaction is not a valid ype B reorganization because did not use "solely" voting stock. here can be "no boot in a B." As a result, all the shareholders must fully recognize their realized gain. 41
42 roblem 1(g) p.437 Creeping B Reorganization purchases 400 shares of stock from Dee Minimis for $400,000 cash. hree months later, S/H transfers $400,000 of voting preferred stock to each of the nine remaining shareholders in exchange for their respective 400 shares of stock. RESUL: Failed because Dee purchase is not old and cold. See reas. Reg (c). Cash urchase of 400 Stock arget Dee $400,000 cash 400 stock Stock-for-Stock Exchange $400,000 stock S/H 400 stock arget arget 42
43 roblem 1(h) p.437 Boot Relaxation Rule acquires all the assets and assumes the $1 million liability in exchange for $3.6 million of voting common stock and $400,000 in - Notes. Immediately thereafter, completely liquidates, distributing the shares and -Notes to shareholders. drops down the assets to S. S/Hs arget Shares ($3.6 million) -Note ($400k) Exchange arget Assets ($5 million) Liability ($1 million) RESUL: he -Notes is problematic here. Under the 368(a)(2)(B) boot relaxation rule, may use up to 20% boot in making the acquisition, but any transferred liabilities are treated as cash consideration for this purpose. Accordingly, is treated as acquiring 72% of 's assets for voting stock and 28% for cash and notes, causing the transaction to fail as a C reorganization. Shares ($3.6 million) -Note ($400k) Liquidation stock S 43 Assets
44 roblem 1(i) p.438 Substantially All Requirement Same as (h), above, except that retains $400,000 of its cash, acquires the balance of s assets, and assumes the liability, for $3.6 million of voting common stock, and distributes the shares and cash pro rata to its shareholders in complete liquidation. Shares ($3.6 million Cash ($400k) S/Hs Liquidation stock arget Shares ($3.6 million) Exchange arget Assets ($4.6 million) Liability ($1 million) RESUL: his should qualify as a ype C reorganization. transfers solely voting stock and its assumption of 's liability is not treated as disqualifying boot. 368(a)(1)(C). he 368(a)(2)(G) distribution requirement is met when completely liquidates. he principal issue is whether has transferred "substantially all of its properties" to. has transferred 92% of its gross assets ($4.6 million out of $5 million) and 90% of its net assets ($3.6 million out 44 of $4 million) and all 's operating assets were transferred. S Assets
45 roblem 2(a) p.438 Multi-Step Acquisitions: A(2)(E) or A Reorg? acquires all the stock in a reverse triangular merger in which Y 1, a transitory subsidiary of, merges into. In the merger, four shareholders (holding 40% of the stock) each receive $400,000 cash and the other six shareholders each receive $400,000 of nonvoting preferred stock. then merges upstream into. RESUL: Viewed in isolation, is acquired for too much cash for an (A)(2)(E). But, in Rev. Rul , which is discussed in Rev. Rul , the Service held that the step transaction doctrine would apply to similar facts and treated the transaction as a single statutory merger of into and thus qualified as a ype A reorganization. S/Hs stock Stock & Cash Step One 60% Nonvoting Stock 40% cash Step wo Merger Y-1 Merger Cash & Stock 45
46 A& s Acquires ime Warner ($85.4 Billion) (10/22/2016) (See Rev. Rul ) p.431 1) forms X (MergerSub) & merges into ime Warner (). shareholders receive 30x cash and 70x voting stock. S/Hs stock 2) then merges into or into a disregarded entity owned by and then conducts the business. X 50% Stock 50% Cash Merge Merger A X Upstream Merger 50% Stock 50% Cash Analysis 1. Viewed individually, this transaction cannot qualify for 368(a)(2)(E) because control of is not acquired with A& voting stock. 2. But, the two steps are integrated under the step transaction doctrine causing the transaction to be viewed as a straight A reorganization because the end result is that merged into (or a disregarded entity owned by ). 46
47 roblem 2(b) p.438 Step ransaction? Same as (a), above, except the second step in the transaction is a merger of into Y 2, a subsidiary of. RESUL: Applying the rationale of Rev. Rul to view the two transactions steps as an integrated whole, the end result is that merges into s subsidiary (Y-2). Viewed as such, this transaction should qualify as a 368(a)(2)(D) forward triangular merger. Step One S/Hs stock Stock & Cash 60% Nonvoting Stock 40% cash Step wo Merger Y-1 Merger Y-2 Cash & Stock 47
48 Consider: Wisconson Energy (WEC) / Integrys Energy Group (EG) WEC wants to acquire EG. WEC forms MS#1 to merge into EG with ublic shareholders receiving 76% stock and 24% cash. As part of a binding commitment, is merged into MS#1. Step One: MS#1 merges into EG with s shareholders receiving 24% cash and 76% as WES stock. ublic stock EG 26% Cash + 76% Stock Merger MS#1 WES Step wo: EG merges into S as part of binding commitment. WES S EG Merger S Merger End Result: acquires with 14% stock WES S EG Business Question #1: What is the tax treatment if the two steps are treated as independent steps? Question #2: What is the tax treatment if the two steps are integrated? 48 Question #3: What is the right characterization?
49 Consider: Heinz Acquisition of Kraft 4/14/2015) H.J. Heinz Holding Company (HJH) will acquire Kraft Foods. HJH forms MS#1 (a C corp) and MS#2 (a disregarded entity). MS#1 is merged into Kraft. Kraft then merges into MS2. he S-4 states that Kraft, prior to the Step One merger, will pay a special dividend of $16.50 to its shareholders ($10 billion in aggregate) and that "the payment of the Special Dividend will be contingent on the consummation of the Merger and the Subsequent Merger and that the special cash dividend of $10 billion in the aggregate to existing K shareholders... will be funded by an equity investment by Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital (shareholders of HJH). Step One: Kraft declares special dividend and then MS#1 merges into Kraft. 49% HJH Stock (FMV= ~$40 billion) K ublic $10 Billion Dividend Kraft Merger MS#1 HJH Step wo: Kraft merges into MS#2 (a disregarded entity) as part of binding commitment. HJH S Kraft Merger MS2 Merger End Result: HJH owns Kraft business through disregarded entity HJH MS2 Question #1: How is this reorganization to be characterized? Question #2: What is the tax treatment of the special dividend? Kraft Business 49
50 roblem 2(c) p.438 Multiple Acquisitions Same as (a), above, except the second step is the complete liquidation of into in a transaction that is not a statutory merger under state law. RESUL: Under Rev. Rul , the IRS would treat this integrated transaction as a failed ype C reorganization (the flaw being that none of the consideration consisted of voting stock). he integrated transaction also could not be treated as a ype A reorganization because did not merge into. Step One 60% Nonvoting Stock 40% cash S/Hs stock Stock & Cash Step wo Merger Y-1 Cash & Stock Liquidate 50

Reg (h)(1)-1(c)(2) provides that the step transaction doctrine will not apply to a multi-step acquisition if the first step is a qualified stock purchase and the parties make a 338(h)(10) election. Old recognizes gain/loss on the deemed asset sale. New takes a cost basis in the assets. S does not recognize gain or loss on the stock sale. he merger of into is tax- free liquidation under 332 and 337. See Reg (h)(10)-1(e) Examples 11 and 12.

53 Acquisitive Reorganization reatment of the arties Consider the income tax treatment resulting from a tax-free corporate reorganization for the following parties to that reorganization: 1) he shareholders of the arget Corporation. 2) he Acquiring Corporation and any Acquisition Subsidiary. 3) he arget Corporation. 53
54 Acquisitive Reorganization reatment of the arties arget Shareholders Shareholders exchange of stock-forstock or securities-for-securities is generally given nonrecognition treatment. 354(a). Gain recognized in an amount equal to the lesser of the boot received or built-in gain in the stock. 356(a). Gain is treated as a dividend to the extent provided in sections 301/302 and then as capital gain. 356(a). Note discussion of Clark (p.440). Basis in new stock takes substitute basis, increased by any gain recognized and reduced by any boot received and liabilities assumed under Section 358(a)(1). 1223(1) gives tacked holding period. arget ransfer of target assets & liabilities is tax-free to target. See 361(a) & 357(a). Boot received is non-taxable to arget if arget distributes the boot but taxable if not distributed. 361(b). If arget retains some historic arget assets and distributes them to arget shareholders, then arget recognizes built-in gain. 361(c). Acquirer No gain or loss on shares issued arget assets take carryover basis, increased by gain recognized by arget. 362(b). Exception: 362(e)(1) prevents built-in losses from being imported to Acquirer. 54

Shareholders Deemed to Only Receive Stock First S/Hs stock Stock Result: Deemed to have received 425,000 shares and then post-merger to have exchanged 125,000 shares for cash. Applying 302 testing after the shareholders are considered shareholders makes the hypothetical redemption to be more likely not essentially equivalent to a dividend. Merger A Shareholders Deemed to Only Receive Stock First S/Hs Hypo Stock Cash Historic S/Hs 55
56 Characterization of Boot as Dividend or Capital Gain p.442 Boot within Gain Rule Boot dividend is limited to the gain amount. 356(a)(2) (dividend within gain) ax rate of 20% on both dividend and long-term capital gain reduces tax significance; but: 1) he Clark approach reduces the opportunity for a dividends received deduction (DRD) for a corporate shareholder. 2) Boot gain is received in form of installment notes not if dividend characterization applies. 56
57 Basis and Holding eriod for arget Shareholders p basis in the stock received is derived from the basis of the stock transferred. However, boot takes a fair market value basis. What about multiple tax lots for shares received? racing or prorata allocation? Allocation to each block of stock is required. Average basis method not available Cf., basis reporting by brokers (g) regulations (effective in 2011). 57
58 arget Corporation p.445 Consequences - Issues 361(a) no gain or loss is recognized by arget on the transfer of assets in the reorganization transaction. 357(a) assumption of the target s liabilities is not treated as boot. hese rules apply to (1) A & C reorganizations, and (2) forward triangular mergers; but, not for B reorganizations, or reverse triangular mergers, since stock, no assets, is acquired in these transactions. 58
59 Shareholder Distribution ax Effects to the arget p.446 No gain or loss is recognized to arget when it distributes qualified property. See 361(c). Qualified property requirement is under 361(c) stock of the other party in the reorganization. Distribution of other than qualified property e.g., boot gain recognition on the distribution is required. 361(c)(1) & (2) (but prior step-up when transferred by to arget)? 59
60 Acquiring Corporation p.447 Asset Reorganization Consequences 1032(a) issuance of Acquiring shares or Acquiring arent s shares is not a taxable event. Same result if issuance of debt securities by the acquirer occurs. But, transfer of boot causes any realized gain or loss to be recognized under general tax principles. ax basis for assets received by Acquirer: 362(b) carryover from the transferor. 1223(2) provides a tacked holding period. his relevant in acquisition of target s assets: A or C & forward triangular merger. 60
61 Acquiring Corporation p.447 Stock Reorganization Consequences 362(b) provides that the basis of stock or securities received by the Acquiring Corporation will be the same as the basis was in the hands of the arget shareholders. ractical roblem: How does Acquiring Corporation find out what is the tax basis of the hundreds of thousands of publicly traded arget shareholders? In Rev. roc , the IRS set forth detailed rules for the allowance of statistical analysis. 61

In Clark, the parties stipulated that the E & of the target would be the sole measure of any dividend and, in fact, the $3.5 million boot received by Mr. Clark exceeded the target's $2.3 million earnings and profits, limiting Mr. Clark's dividend (in the IRS's view) to $2.3 million without regard to the acquiring corporation's earnings and profits. But, the rationale of Clark suggests that the E& of both and should be taken into account. 66
